do any other desi's have like a weird feeling when interacting with desi characters or even playing as one in hogwarts legacy. like, it's always nice to have some rep, but also, it's 1890. like, what are we all doing here? There's still over 50 years left until "independence". Amit I understand, he's a kid, so okay, but Professors Shah and Ronen? Fatima, Rohan? It's 1890, why the fuck are you just hanging out in the middle of nowhere in Scotland? You should be in London bombarda-ing the FUCK out of Buckingham. History of Magic class? Professor Binns, sit your ghost ass down, while I tell you magic bitches about the East India Trading Company and the divide and conquer bullshit that is STILL working over a hundred years later and we're fighting each other instead of the real enemy, you. Like, what are we doing here? At the very least we could steal the koh-i-noor back. You can't Bridgerton this world cause it's got "politics" instead of romance and female struggles. Vicky is like an hour's magic car ride away from me wearing the blood of my fucking ancestors around her neck and on her head, and you want me to focus on some glowing bullshit instead? Honestly, not even my ancestors, my grandparents and great-grandparents fought for independence, twice cause we're fucking Bangladeshi Bengali's. Like, Professor Fig, let's put a pause on your wife's magic quest, I'm going to London, I have fires to set!

I made a mistake. My gamer bestie warned me beforehand about how scary the shop quest will be, and so I planned to skip it, but I finished the main story and the relationship quests, and I'm still only level 32, a girl wants to end the year, so I needed the exp and it was a fucking MISTAKE! What the fuck is this place! I thought I could just dracarys my way through the mannequins I knew would show up, but they're so fucking creepy and they keep moving, and you have to get close to blow up them, and it's never ending. The fuck is this serial killer dungeon? This is not the Harry Potter I grew up on! 2001 I miss you so much! I can't do more than like 10 minutes at a time, and I'm already on day 2 of trying to get through it. I hate it, this freaking H H Holmes ass place (kids don't google him if you're also a scaredy cat). I can't even leave 'cause I didn't do a manual save before I entered either, so I can't reload.

Sebastian: YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ANNE! Me, who only met her twice and didn't have a great time: Not particularly, no.

INTRODUCING... CELENE VELMONT aka my babygirl/my canon mc

Celene Dorothea Velmont, a slightly dark witch Slytherin. Just slightly, she doesn't wanna go full Voldemort, just wants power to protect what's important to her, and also occasionally dracarys someone annoying. Just sometimes.

some backstory; when she was around 5 she was adopted by Solenne Velmont, a French witch from a sorta destroyed old wizarding family (she straight up just left France), and Ansgar Velmont (née Bayer), a Swiss muggle banker. She has an adoptive elder brother, Willem Velmont, who works in the Swiss Federal Wizarding Council. Celene herself doesn't particularly care about her biological relations, she's got her family already, so it's simply not her problem.

wand; natural grey acacia wood, dragon heartstring core, 13 1/5 inches, unyielding

other notes;

can't fly well, at all, she should not be on a broom, some will die in the sky. Imelda was right, she totally cheated.

Celene is her original name, but Dorothea was chosen by her parents, which means "gift of god" cause they're cute like that.

is actually not that interested in everyone's problems, and doesn't probe deeply in most people's issues, she's just an adventure junkie, and doesn't really plan on spending a long time in Britain after she graduates from Hogwarts, so is getting in all that exploration before she leaves forever.

the Velmont's estate is in Sévaz, though the family lives there less these days, with Cel at Hogwarts, Ansgar's work in Geneva, and Will's in Bern, so during the school year their parents stay in Geneva, and come home for the summer

as with their main home's canton, the Velmont's (except for Solenne) are bilingual speaking both French and German, while they mainly speak French, when they want to keep secrets from/mess with Mama Velmont, the other three switch to German

Will and Celene also speak Italian and Romansh

her patronus is a Basilisk (mostly cause I thought that'd be funny but it kinda fits her)

ummmmmm, am I supposed to feel bad for Solomon Sallow? 'Cause I do not. Like, at all. I fucking cannot stand that guy. "He's like that cause of all the tragedies in his family", okay, and he takes that out on a child. Plus, Seb mentions that he's always been irritable with him, even if you infer that it probably just got worse after Anne was cursed, but that doesn't change the fact that he was an absolute DICK to a CHILD! Seb is 15-16 over the course of the game events, maybe he stays 15, we don't have a birthday for him, and according to the lore, his parents died before he and anne started attending Hogwarts so when he was under 11. This grown ass man was taking out his grief and anger on a child under his care and you want me to what? Pity him? Sympathize? Even if I didn't support dark arts research, I'd support killing him. What a piece of shit. Like, step aside Seb, I was ready to Avada Kedavra this bitch myself right after our first meeting at Feldcroft. I too learned this spell when I was 14 (actually I was 10, even younger when I read the book, lol).

I haven't finished the game yet (triggered both in the shadow of the mountain and in the shadow of hope tho), but I don't think I'll be shifting from my stance that Solomon made Sebastian into that mess, not Seb's foray into the dark arts. Like, when you the player first meet him, Solomon disappears a magic plant that could have helped Anne, maybe even just temporarily. They're CHILDREN, let them have their false hopes and dreams, crushing all their attempts is not helping. I can see where Sebastian gets his stupidity from. Being mean doesn't really help anything, take that from a certified bitch. Anyway, of course Sebastian went full Darth Vader, you kept crushing him without properly explaining why you think like that, and just acting like he's a moron without taking the time to properly ADULT him. I understand he's not meant to a father, but he is their guardian and thus they're his responsibility. Pick up a parenting book, ask a fucking professor for help. Hogwarts is like, right there. Professor Weasley is right there. She can fix you.

I have discovered that when he's not locked in a quest, Sebastian just wanders around the defense against the dark arts tower sitting on benches eating snacks, reading, and nodding his nod when unnamed students drop some gossip. I was quite shocked tbh, like what do you mean you have friends other Ominis and me?

INTRODUCING... LAILA RATHORE SLYTHERIN, DESI, AND STUPIDILY HONEST, KILLED A LOT OF POACHERS AND GOBLINS THOUGH WITH NO REGRETS, LOL.

'cause I hadn't played in months (nor had I made it very far), I decided to start over until I caught up and then switched back, so Laila here is already lowkey a defunct character, but I got some good vibes and ideas of what to do with my next character. she doesn't really have much lore 'cause of all that. when I named her I was listening to Laila Main Laila, and Rathore cause Azad and Vikram from jawan, so ta da. I gave her pink hair and eyes instead of usual valyrian combo cause I was reading some villainess manwha. anyway, mostly I gave up on her cause I made a wrong dialogue choice and Ominis got super mad at me, which hurt my feelings (I ratted out Sebby and that was worse than the terrible lie). rip laila, you shall be reborn queen.

I will say, I found Amit very cute (and the way they pronounce Thakkur very funny), but why are all these Desi's kind and happy to be at Hogwarts? Like, hello, it's 1890, the British Raj is still there, SET THINGS ON FIRE! YOU HAVE MAGIC YOU FOOLS! THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR LIKE NEARLY 50 YEARS, BLOW THIS BITCH UP! anyway, my next desi mc is definitely gonna be fucking pissed off about all of this. I'm tempted to name her Rani 'cause of Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani, but I shall try to think of something else. Definitely won't reuse Rathore tho. probably

some crappy attempts at photo mode. when it comes to photo mode, I must accept the insult of my younger cousins and affirm that I am indeed a boomer. just in photo modes though okay, I'm good with other technology! I'm still in the target demographic! Having said that, I am shit at them regardless of game or even device, whether it be xbox, pc, or mobile, I just cannot take cool ass pictures. at this rate I should pay a gen-z or even an alpha to take neat pics for me.

CELENE VELMONT What represents the boundaries of mortal knowledge? Many people think it's [the Genius Society], but I think it's myself.

sooooo 👉👈 a certain someone (me) may have finally gotten around to playing through hogwarts legacy and per usual became completely obsessed, so voila, another sideblood. playing legacy also made me redownload magic awakened only to discover that all non-asian servers had been shut down, but I was able to download the chinese version and started over. rip to the cute monthly outfit thing that I got before, I'll never see you again my beloved. 😩being a gacha gamer is so hard.

anyway, will post edits and rambles and maybe some fics (if I actually ever physically write em up instead of thinking them up in my daydream cinematic universe) about all my mc's.
